- Designed for toddlers & preschoolers (ages 2 to 5 years) - no confusing menus or navigation. No links outside of app (complies with COPPA - Children's Online Privacy Protection act).
- If kids collect all the medallions, and reach the end of the game, they'll get a chance to win a 17" Count Dracu Plush Doll, as well as other great prizes.
